  1. Class 2b: Temperature and insolation

  2. What is temperature?

  3. How does heat energy move? • Conduction • Convection

  4. How does heat energy move? • Adiabatic cooling and warming

  5. How does heat energy move? • Latent heat (“hidden” heat)

  6. Solar energy

  7. Solar energy

  8. Energy pathways • Insolation

  9. Energy pathways

  10. Ozone and UV light

  11. Ozone and UV light

  12. Energy pathways

  13. Greenhouse effect

  14. Why is the sky blue?

  15. Energy pathways • Does energy reach all parts of the Earth’s surface equally?

  16. Latitude and insolation

  17. Spatial variation of insolation • High latitudes (above 60°)

  18. Spatial variation of insolation • Middle latitudes (30°-60°) • Low latitudes (below 30°)

  19. Land vs. water

  20. Land vs. water • Continental vs. maritime climates
